First Trailer for ‘Lola’ – Starring & Directed by Nicola Peltz Beckham

"I am the person I am today because of the people that help me... and the people that hurt me." Vertical has revealed the official trailer for a film titled Lola, marking the feature directorial debut of actress Nicola Peltz Beckham (formerly known just Nicola Peltz - most will recognize her from her role in Transformers: Age of Extinction or on "Bates Motel"). Not to be confused with the other indie sci-fi film titled Lola from last year, this is an entirely different one. Peltz Beckham also stars as the titular Lola James. Lola works to save enough money to get her little brother, Arlo, out of their toxic home. Arlo keeps her hopeful, until one tragic night, when her whole world gets uprooted. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same. The cast includes Virginia Madsen, Trevor Long, Luke David Blumm, Raven Goodwin, Sunil Narkar, Stephen Graybill, Richie Merritt, and Kevin Toms.

Review: Cuoco & Oyelowo’s ‘Role Play’ Film is Not a Bad Start to 2024

Within the world of cinema, expectations can be both a boon and a bane. As I settled down on my couch to watch Role Play, a film with a fun premise featuring some entertainment potential, I braced myself for a straightforward, formulaic escapade, fully aware that the very best I could possibly get would be a harmless, enjoyable time. Fueling my interest was the allure of Kaley Cuoco in the lead role, whose memorable performance in The Big Bang Theory – one of my favorite sitcoms – had me eager to witness her versatility in an action comedy. What unfolded on the screen was precisely what I expected, for better or worse. Role Play doesn't tell a story we haven't seen before within its mix of the spy, thriller, action, and comedy genres. Emma (starring Kaley Cuoco) and Dave (co-starring David Oyelowo) have a seemingly perfect life as a couple married for seven years and counting. However, Emma leads a secret life that Dave knows nothing about, hiding the fact that she is working as an international assassin for hire with a bounty on ...
